clothing was unecessary?who cares what they wore moron they totally paid tribute to this classic!most bands on the level that the cure is would love to get a band to cover this song like they did!
@xXxThExDoCToRxXx i think he was just listening along, i mean sometimes i pull those faces when i go to see a movie even if i really like it. at the end he also smiles, so i think he did quite enjoy it. besides, it (the cover) couldn't have been as bad as razorlights take on boys dont cry :)
@nymetsrock ok first of all they are not emo and second of all if you don't listen to this kind of music then get of of AFI's butt and go complain to somebody who cares i mean really get a life!
excellent cover. loved jade's handiwork and davey's vocals. this is the only song i like from afi even though its a cure cover. but, damn, great job!
I love AFIs version with the fast hard guitaring. Dave does justice to this brilliant Cure song. I've watched this over & over. You guyz should be proud of yourselves especially performing in front of Robert xx
@PsychoFalcon666 actually The Cure is Post Punk, gothic rock falls under that umbrella, not to mention a lot of their discography is in the "gothic rock" area; Seventeen Seconds-The Top, Disintegration, Bloodflowers
anyways, on topic, this is kinda lame tbh, a cover should be your own take on a song, not simply you trying to sound like the band your covering.
@oscarrlopezg Afi have more musicianship in there little pinky fingers then you WILL EVER HAVE!!! I would like to see you play like Jade Puget!!! God Bless AFI
you want to hear a fukin awesome story? you like hip hop? what about acoustic guitars? synths? beat machines and kickass music that doesnt SUCK!!??? MATTED MUZIK! stop by and show some love to a new artist on the scene! :)
They played beautiful music in the band anymore wrong I'm sure the sex of the singer bands are present are very gay masculinity is missing and longing for the cure of heavy metal bands
The Cure are cool and an indie band........ They're probably pissed that all of these posers are covering their songs lol...... that said this one is very good, although i cant tell if the lead singer is a girl or boy
This cover made me fall in love with this song again. Cheers to Robert. AFI is the most amazing band. Wish AFI kept this image :( still. They've gone for the clean cut now. Hmm.... I guess change is nessesary though. Peace.
Wow, pretty good cover. I've heard this song get butchered a lot over the years so it's refreshing to hear a strong rendition of it. It goes without saying that the original is the best but this is a damn good cover. Props to AFI.
@Commiteee if you listen back to this song by The Cure that isn't remastered or anything then yes Davey sounds like Robert Smith when he was younger. Listened 2 The Cure since i was little :) x
this cover is really good. i didn't think it would be because i don't really like afi too much. i wouldve totally fucked it up if i were playing this in front of the cure...
I couldn't sing in front of any one in The Cure, covering any song of theirs. Their one band that their version is perfect.

Nice karaoke act. Did very little to reinvent the song.
AFI is so much more creative than this whether one is fond of their new-ish
direction or not. I'm sure the Despair Faction will eat it up any way that it
is presented however.
